Windows ugly sweaters return, featuring iconic Bliss backdrop from XP era

Embracing the holiday spirit with a nostalgic twist, Windows is reintroducing its iconic ugly sweaters reminiscent of the early 2000s in the Windows XP era.

The highlight of this year's sweater is the famous Bliss background - a painterly depiction of a green hill, blue sky and fluffy white clouds in Sonoma County, California.

Windows is partnering with The Nature Conservancy, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the critical lands and waters essential to all life. By purchasing a #WindowsUglySweater with a Bliss design, customers are contributing to The Nature Conservancy's climate and biodiversity initiatives.

The limited edition #WindowsUglySweater is on sale now. For those who are unable to secure a physical sweater, the Xbox Gear Shop offers a chance to relive the early 2000s spirit. Users can find downloadable wallpapers for their phones, Teams backgrounds, or desktops so everyone can join in on the holiday nostalgia.
